What should I do if my left tonsil is swollen, abscessed, and extremely painful?

Left tonsillar enlargement with pus formation is usually caused by bacterial infections, such as streptococcus. Suppurative tonsillitis can cause severe throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, and other symptoms.

It is recommended to rest adequately, drink plenty of water, maintain good oral hygiene, and rinse the mouth with warm salt water. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more vegetables and fruits.

Seek medical attention promptly and follow the guidance of a physician for treatment.
